Boulder River

Montana's Boulder River rushes under stars in a long-exposure picture made by Your Shot member John Warner. Warner lit the scene with a flashlight during the exposure, a technique known as light painting.

"Your interpretations of After Midnight were original and inspiring," wrote editing photographers Cook and Jenshel. "The diverse range of subject matter, vantage point, light, and imagination brought huge smiles to our faces."

Black and White and Wet

Juan Osorio captured this self-portrait in New York City. Editing photographers Cook and Jenshel noted, "The photographer seems to be channeling both Cartier-Bresson (the decisive moment) and Brassai (urban nightlife) in this beautiful black-and-white photograph."

Sleeping

Your Shot member Adrian Miller photographed two members of his family after they fell asleep during a movie.

"This photograph is suffused with tenderness and love. The sepia toning lends itself well to the dreamy quality of the image," wrote editing photographers Jenshel and Cook, who selected this image for the After Midnight story.

Milky Way

Stars and the Milky Way shine over a church in Mud Butte, South Dakota, in this multiple-exposure photograph by Your Shot contributor Christian Begeman.

"What do we love most about photographing after midnight? We've learned to embrace the unknown, the darkness, and how strange it can look," wrote editing photographers Cook and Jenshel in the After Midnight story.
